No specific details were given, but the story is based on an original idea that Drew Pearce came up with, which "excited the studio," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Billion Brick Race will be both Jason Segel and Drew Pearce's directorial debuts, although no release date was given at this time. Since Warner Bros. currently has LEGO movies planned until 2018, it's certainly possible they could be aiming for a 2019 release, but that has yet to be confirmed.
